Chapter 202 What failure can Liu Xuande, who started from scratch, not bear!
How is this going to work if everyone fails? The first time Chen Xi wanted to do something big, something like this happened. What’s even more embarrassing this time is that as the first person to do this, he couldn’t give an example to others. As for the
Do you think people like Jia Xu can be so easily swayed by such ambitious goals?
"Bang!" Chen Xi slapped the table, "I remember I have the right to directly veto your decision!" Chen Xi looked at the group of people in front of him angrily. He finally understood why the ancient reformers
It is the Iron-Blooded Sect. Now he is just making a small change. Due to possible problems, this group of people began to persuade him!
"Zichuan, you don't have to be like this. The development situation of Fenggao, and even the entire Mount Tai, and Qingzhou is excellent. There is no need to take such a strange risk!" Lu Su, as a stable person and a good old man, was the first to stop when he saw Chen Xi's popularity.
Get up and persuade, after all, the situation in Taishan and Qingzhou is indeed very good now. There is no need to resort to such dangerous methods. What if it breaks down?
Chen Xi choked, then glared at everyone, "There is indeed no problem with the development of Mount Tai and Qingzhou. It is precisely because of this advantage that we can surpass the princes from all directions. To put it bluntly, who is the strongest in the world now! Is it us!
It’s just that we can’t free up our hands! If we are willing to lose our foundation, we can severely damage any princes and princes along the way!”
"Yes, yes, we are indeed the strongest among all the princes, and we also show our threat when necessary. It is precisely because of this strength that the princes from all over the world watch our development without provoking us. We
Can't we develop well?" Liu Ye held his head and said, Liu Bei's current situation is very good... As long as he can safely annex Qingzhou, it will be enough to securely ascend to the position of the strongest prince without any accidents. Why bother?
Is it dangerous? If you can’t harm yourself, wouldn’t you be looking for trouble?
"I am just developing well. With the current stable development, how much progress do you think we can make by consolidating and Qingzhou's situation next year? Of course I admit that it will definitely be much better than now, but where is Yuan Benchu? Where is Yuan Gongli? Where is Cao Mengde?
?" Chen Xi stared at the group of people in front of him angrily. He was now in a state of one-on-one fight and opposed them all!
"What Zichuan said makes sense. You must know that Cao Mengde is shrinking his troops to consolidate the three places of Chenliu, Yingchuan, and Wancheng. Cao Mengde will not be much weaker than us in a year. We have consolidated Qingzhou, and they have almost consolidated these places.
.Similarly, Yuan Jiujiu will have almost stabilized the newly captured areas by this time next year." Jia Xu took over the conversation and acknowledged Chen Xi's words.
"And all of us know that Cao Mengde is training troops and is not playing tricks with Yuan Jiujiu, so in terms of actual losses, the actual loss of soldiers of Cao Mengde and Yuan Jiujiu will not be very large. And the extent of our damage in Yuzhou is not large, and it is not
The four newly acquired counties with Yuan Jiujiu are all prosperous places! Yuan Jiujiu may not be weak at this time next year! As for Yuan Benchu, the situation is not good!" Jia Xu cited a series of examples to prove that all four parties are developing, so they consolidate their own advantages.
It's very important. Liu Ye was trembling with anger. This was different from what he had promised!
Seeing Liu Ye trembling and Chen Xi looking proud, Jia Xu changed the subject, "It's precisely because all parties are developing. We can't let go of our current advantages." Chen Xi was startled when he heard this, and something was not good.
Feel.
As expected, Jia Xu opened his mouth and turned directly to Liu Ye. "At this time, seeking stability is far more important than taking risks. We are not in danger yet. It is not necessary to develop our strength according to the original rhythm and steadily surpass Cao Mengde's front line.
If we try this dangerous plan, if something goes wrong, we will not only lose our existing advantages, but we will also have to change our orders overnight, which will be a major blow to the government's credibility, which has finally been stabilized!"
Jia Xu's reasons are simply impeccable. No matter which direction you look at it, there is no loophole, which directly blocks Chen Xi's room for rebuttal.
"Jia Wenhe!" Chen Xi gritted his teeth and stared at Jia Xu.
"I'm sorry, this matter concerns the common people, so I can only put my personal relationship behind." Jia Xu said solemnly.
"Should I say that you distinguish between public and private matters?" Chen Xi asked speechlessly.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Jia Xu said calmly.
"You guy!" Chen Xi lost his temper completely.
"Forget it, let's put it another way. Our current advantage is not enough to allow us to directly overwhelm the four parties next year. It is even a bit too much to say that in the current form, after Cao Cao sharpens his sword with Yuan Shu and consolidates himself, we
Can it be as easy to convince as it is now?" Chen Xi had no choice but to change the topic. There is no precedent for transaction tax, and it is impossible to win no matter how hard you argue.
Everyone present stopped talking this time. It was obvious that Cao Cao, who had consolidated himself, was also very powerful. You must know that in the judgment of Jia Xu and Guo Jia, Cao Cao was a more dangerous supernova than Yuan Shao! Of course, it is estimated that Cao Cao’s intelligence system is now
Inside, Liu Bei is also a more dangerous supernova than Yuan Shao.
"This is not a reason for us to pass your dangerous plan." Guo Jia, who was not drunk for the first time, tapped his fingers on the table, "We cannot give up our current advantage. If your method fails, we will
We can’t afford a counterattack next year, but we do need to think of a way. We must consolidate our advantages and expand them at the same time!”
"Actually, I think Zichuan's approach can be implemented." Fazheng weakly waved the flag for Chen Xi. Well, Fazheng is just here to increase his presence. No matter which side he is on, everyone ignores his existence. After all,
Chen Xi has said it a long time ago, before Fa Zheng meets the requirements, you will be hidden by us, and we will not include you in the establishment.
"Xiao Zhi..." At this time, Chen Xi forgot everything he said before without saying a word. He finally had a supporter, "Xiao Zhi, I will nominate you as the Prime Minister of Qi when I get back. This is how a pure man should be, follow me firmly.
mix!"
"Xiao Zhi?" "Xiao Zhi?" Jia Xu and Guo Jia all turned their heads and stared at the rebellious younger brother. In an instant, Fazheng felt pressure.
"The Taishan Intelligence Organization is much better than the Prime Minister of Qi, hahahaha..." After hesitating for less than three seconds, Fazheng became a walleye and then defected back. This integrity simply made Chen Xi feel angry.
"Okay. Now it's us who are going to attack you again." Lu Su patted Fazheng on the shoulder and said don't worry about Jia Xu and Guo Jia, they won't do anything to you. Then he turned around and stared at Chen Xi.
"Zizhong, tell me, how is my new business law?" Chen Xi turned to look at Mi Zhu and asked with burning eyes.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Mi Zhu, who was hiding in the crowd, walked out helplessly. As soon as he came back, he was pulled to the Government Affairs Office by Chen Xi. Then, as soon as the new commercial law was taken out, the situation became like this. Liu Ye almost started a fight with Chen Xi.
Have you? Let me strangle you! Now ask him again?
Sure enough, Liu Ye, Jian Yong, and Lu Su all gave a distance to Mi Zhu. Then everyone stared at Mi Zhu. Even Fazheng stared blankly at Mi Zhu. Fazheng said that he was very angry now. Although he was a
It's a small one, but the small one will also grow into a large one, and he's going to explode!
What could Mi Zhu say? He had also read the new law before. For any businessman, it couldn't be better. As a businessman, it would be great, but now as Liu Bei's subordinate,
Doesn’t this harm Liu Bei’s interests? Doesn’t harming Liu Bei’s interests harm everyone’s interests? So this kind of commercial law must not be passed!
After all, money is no longer so important to Mi Zhu now. As a businessman, there is no future as an official. Liu Xuande is a figure who may reach the top in Mi Zhu's opinion. You must know that Mi Zhu is not from a humble background, and Mi Zhen's identity is
If she can't be Liu Bei's current wife, otherwise Mi Zhu thinks marrying Liu Bei is a good choice. After all, Liu Bei is only thirty years old now!
Because of this, even if Mi Zhu is beaten to death, he will not pass this new law. If he makes less money, Liu Bei will become stronger. Mi Zhu estimates that more than a billion dollars will be wasted, and I guess there is no pressure from it, so he will just spend money to buy an official position.
He didn't have the qualifications to buy it before. He didn't mind this kind of hidden official buying. After all, the stronger Liu Bei was, the greater the reward would be for Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu felt that he could accept this kind of thing!
As for Chen Xi's new business method, which allows him to make money and weaken Liu Bei, go to hell. Money is more important than official status, and money is more important than having a backer? Are you kidding? The profit-seeking nature of businessmen makes Mi Zhu very clear about the gains and losses.
, so he is more determined than anyone present and firmly disagrees with this deceptive business law!
"Zichuan, I have no chance of passing this business law here. I have put all my wealth on the lord. I don't have the ability of you people. I only have money and loyalty. If the lord fails, I will be buried. I
All I can do is be absolutely loyal to my lord, so I can’t pass this kind of tax law that may harm my lord’s interests.” Mi Zhu said with a bitter look on his face, without any room for turning, he directly rejected Chen Xi’s proposal.
Mi Zhu's frank words made everyone present feel sad. Mi Zhu is different from them. If Liu Bei loses, they will at most switch to others. Depending on their ability, there will be people everywhere, even if they are defeated, as long as they
No one will trouble them if they live in seclusion, and Mi Zhu, merchants are extremely humble in this era, so if Liu Bei loses, the best outcome for the Mi family is to leave a trace of incense...
"Oh, I understand." Chen Xi sighed, unable to continue the discussion. No one would agree. There is no precedent and everyone needs to think about it at this time. What they did was not wrong, even if Chen Xi knew
Transaction tax has only advantages and no disadvantages, and there is no way to explain it.
"Zichuan, if we completely suppress the four parties one day, we can try this new method at that time. Please block it now. After all, this period is a bit inappropriate." Lu Su looked at Chen Xi and noticed that Chen Xi was in a low mood and sighed.
He said after taking a breath.
[Compressing everyone?] Chen Xi smiled wryly and waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, "You go do your own thing first and let me calm down."
Everyone present was not stupid. Seeing Chen Xi's expression of despair, they knew what was going on, so they left one by one, leaving Chen Xi sitting alone in the Government Affairs Hall to think about everything quietly.
Chen Xi knew very well that if the transaction tax was not implemented now, it would never be possible again. As for Lu Su's so-called coercion of all parties, it was more of an excuse. The situation at that time was more critical than now.
If you try to do something, there may be a rebound in all directions. At that time, stability was more important than now. If you can't pass it now, can you pass it at that time?
As for the future when the world is under great rule, it will be even more difficult to implement it. At that time, even if Chen Xi opens his mouth, all the ministers will object. At that time, political opponents, Qingliu and famous people, will gain reputation and become famous in the end.
If there is a factional struggle, there is no hope at all. Once any good thing is inserted into the factional struggle, it will become a butt problem. If it becomes a butt problem, there is no need to fight. It is purely for the sake of fighting.
Chen Xi sat with his head held up and drank tea in the Government Affairs Hall. Gradually, his eyes glowed fiercely. Since he knew that this matter was absolutely right, why should he give in? If you give in the first time, there will be a second time. You can admit your mistakes if you are wrong. But
This thing has been verified by history to be right, so go ahead and do it. It won’t matter if everyone blocks it. It can only prove that I am stronger and smarter than you!
Thinking of this, Chen Xi put down the tea cup in his hand. A sneer appeared on his face. In Taishan, what everyone said can be counted, but there is only one person who must count, and that is Liu Bei. Don't look at Liu Bei walking around like a mascot all day long.
, but to say that the real power must be Liu Bei! There are some things that Chen Xi can't do, but it doesn't mean that Liu Bei can't do it!
Just do it if you want. Chen Xi couldn't believe that Liu Bei had become corrupted into glory and wealth so quickly, which had sapped his fighting spirit. A self-made man will definitely not be weak in terms of courage!
"Click!" Chen Xi pushed open the door and entered. Xu Chu was not far from the door.
"My lord is in the bedroom now." Xu Chu said to Chen Xi with a slightly troubled expression, and his voice was a little too loud.
Chen Xi took out his ears and glanced at Xu Chu with a strange expression. What happened to this guy today? He made such a loud announcement. In the past, wasn't he just pretending to be a stone sculpture, so he just pretended he didn't see it?
It is said that the place where Liu Bei originally lived was under construction, so he moved to a place a few steps away from Chen Xi's house. In fact, the previous courtyard was also a few steps away from Chen's house. As long as Liu Bei did not say anything, no one was allowed to enter. Chen Xi entered Liu Bei.
There would be no one blocking the door of the house. When Xu Chu saw Guan, Zhang, Zhao and Chen Xi running to Liu Bei's house, he would usually stand at the door like a stone sculpture. This was really strange.
As for the courtyard under construction, Liu Bei had seen what it meant to burn money. Zhang was dizzy after looking at the building materials. Naturally, Liu Bei also felt that something was not suitable. However, he was sent away by Chen Xi. What Chen Xi said was nothing.
It was only a billion dollars, which almost made Liu Bei suffer a heart attack. He turned around and asked Chen Xi why he didn't invest the money into the people.
Chen Xi was very satisfied with this. Liu Bei remembered to ask the people when he almost recovered from a heart attack. Chen Xi was very satisfied. It would be incredible if he could pretend to be benevolent and virtuous to this extent.
Chen Xi's answer at the time left Liu Bei speechless, "These things were earned by running a small business last year when I was bored, so I planned to independently fund the construction of a library. There were a lot of materials, so I brought them to Duke Xuande to build as well."
One building.”
Zhang's beautiful eyes are full of words. Liu Bei knows that Chen Xi can make money, and Zhang also knows it, but it is really incredible that he can make money like this. However, Liu Bei only has two contributions in the book to renovate Taishan's residence, one is manpower, and the other is
The total cost of the materials is only a few million, which is far from the billions Chen Xi mentioned.
In other words, Chen Xi's luxury is also a luxury for his own family, and has nothing to do with Taishan's treasury. No one can say anything if he builds one for himself, let alone for Liu Bei.
Generally speaking, women are very interested in shiny things, and the quality of the building materials Chen Xi made may be questionable, but there is absolutely no problem with sparkling, so it is very attractive to Zhang, and Liu Bei may think it is luxurious.
But Ms. Zhang is already wondering whether she should try to build one for her own home, even though it would cost a lot...
Liu Bei also scolded Chen Xi for being too luxurious. However, given that Chen Xi said that with or without the money investment, there was basically no change in the entire rule. After Liu Bei asked Li You, Li You also gave the same answer.
In conclusion, Liu Bei won’t say anything else.
By the way, if it were really more than a billion dollars, then the amount of money invested in Qingzhou, Taishan and other places could not be bigger, but if it was one million dollars, forget it, that would be a joke, right?
Pushing the door open, it was great. Liu Bei was sitting alone in the bedroom, reading a book.
"Hmm..." Chen Xi shook his head from side to side, wondering why he wasn't reading in the study but in the bedroom, and the smell of incense in the bedroom seemed a bit strange today.
"Zichuan, it's rare that you come to my place except when I invite you to dinner." Liu Bei slowly turned a page of the book before putting down the Chinese book in his hand. He asked with a smile on his face.
, but I don’t know if it was Chen Xi’s illusion or something, but he always felt that Liu Bei’s smile today was a bit far-fetched.
However, Chen Xi had something big to say now. Naturally, he completely ignored these details and said, "Mr. Xuande, I have something to ask of you!"
"It's easy to say, Zichuan can take whatever he likes at home." Liu Bei said grandly.
"..." Chen Xi stared at Liu Bei, staring at Liu Bei who was a little ashamed before he said, "I have a strategy to make it rich. Under the rule of Duke Xuande, the wealth of a county can be compared to that of a state. But no one has ever used this method, so Zijing
Waiting for others to ask for stability and not passing!"
Liu Bei's face jumped wildly, and Chen Xi either didn't speak. It was such a big deal to open his mouth, but by the way, a county is as rich as a state?
Suppressing other things in his heart, Liu Bei tried his best to look at Chen Xi calmly, "Zichuan, tell me your strategy. I believe that with your wisdom, you will not deceive me, but Wen He and others are also geniuses in this world.
Why can't you reconcile and go together?"
Chen Xi took a deep breath, threw away all the strategies targeting everyone, and purely explained the transaction tax to Liu Bei.
"We have a conflict in commercial law. Mr. Xuande, please sit down. I will tell Mr. Xuande all my thoughts and let Mr. Xuande judge." Chen Xi slowly suppressed all distracting thoughts with his mental strength. His eyes were calm.
Look at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei nodded slightly, "Zichuan, please speak."
Chen Xi is rarely serious. Most of the time, Liu Bei sees Chen Xi in a carefree manner. Once he becomes serious, Liu Bei will know that Chen Xi has entered the state. Just like when he was designing in Hulao Pass until now, the serious Chen Xi is there.
In Liu Bei's eyes, he is definitely the strongest adviser in the world.
"My new commercial law cancels the pass tax, the goods tax at the city gate, and the general miscellaneous tax for merchants, and then changes it to a transaction tax. That is, the tax will only be collected on transactions under Xuande Gong's rule, and will be given to
Open the tax certificate. With this certificate, you will no longer be charged taxes on goods in other places in Qingzhou..." Chen Xi introduced the transaction tax to Liu Bei calmly and simply. He was now in a very calm state.
"This kind of business law is too harmful to our own interests." Liu Bei said with a frown.
"Xuan De Gong, on the contrary, Wancheng was ruined. Because of the war between Cao Mengde and Yuan Shu, Wancheng, the hinterland of the Central Plains and the commercial center of the world, was ruined. We now hold the merchant alliance in our hands. As long as the merchant alliance's clubhouse is left
In Fenggao, relying on this commercial law, we, Fenggao, will become the new commercial center of the world, and under the rule of Xuande Gong, we will also become the commercial center of the world." Chen Xi said with a crazy smile on his face.
"The commerce of one city and one place can never be compared to the commerce of everyone in the world. What I am doing now is to tie the world's merchants to Xuande Gong's station car! What I am doing is to turn admiration into transcendence.
The world market in the city!" The madness on Chen Xi's face made Liu Bei startled.
Liu Bei didn't understand business, but what Chen Xi said made sense to Liu Bei. Merchants value profits, and Chen Xi's approach gave benefits to merchants and attracted more merchants. If there were enough merchants, it was not a problem. Liu Bei didn't understand business because he didn't understand business.
I knew the concerns of Jia Xu and others, so what I considered was very simple.
"In that case, Zichuan, you have no problem in thinking about it." Liu Bei said a little weirdly. There is no problem at all. It is not impossible for Fenggao to become the world's bazaar. One county is better than one state!
Chen Xi told all the current situation and the concerns of Jia Xu and others. Sure enough, Liu Bei began to think deeply after hearing this.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Bei raised his head and looked at Chen Xi, "Zichuan, are you sure you can do what you said?"
"Definitely!" Chen Xi spoke calmly without saying another word, but his strong self-confidence pleased Liu Bei.
"Since you are confident that you can do it, do you still need to care about other people's obstruction? Do what you think is right. I have said it a long time ago. These government affairs are all handled by you. You have arbitrary power. I
I believe you will do better than me!" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and said every word, very solemnly, revealing that the trust shown moved Chen Xi extremely.
"Thank you, Mr. Xuande!" Chen Xi stood up and bowed, "Please wait for three months, Mr. Xuande, and I will prove to you that your choice is not wrong."
"Hahaha, Zichuan, don't worry. If you want to try anything, come up with it. I, Liu Xuande, started from scratch, but with your help in just two years, I can stand up to any prince in the world. What do I have to worry about? I can help the Han Dynasty.
It is not a smooth road, so what about the ups and downs in life?" Liu Bei exuded a proud temperament and stared at Chen Xi and said.
"Even if you are wrong, it is just a lost opportunity. You are not even ten years old, and I am still young. If you are wrong, what kind of failure will Liu Xuande, a self-made man, not be able to bear? You don't need to promise me, I believe you.
When I give you arbitrary power, I believe that you will live up to that power! Go ahead, Zichuan! Go and prove that you are better than everyone in the world!" At this moment, Liu Bei seemed like an elder who hoped that Chen Xi would succeed, smiling.
Looking at Chen Xi. (To be continued...)
ps: It’s the beginning of the month. I’m asking for some monthly tickets, some subscriptions, recommendation tickets, etc. The subscriptions have indeed exceeded 3,000, but I haven’t gotten the high-quality dog tags. Let’s take a look at the situation. The latest update will be 6,000.
